Shanghai PudongFrom ghost city to golden city
The area of Pudong in Shanghai was largely unoccupied until the turn of the century (2000)
As China’s economy boomed and people and businesses flooded to Shanghai, Pudong began to thrive
Pudong is now home to wealthy residents as well as many foreign and domestic businesses
5.5M people live in Pudong
Shanghai's advantages: a strong industrial base, widespread prosperity and favorable geography at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
